Graduate Programs in Environmental and Conservation Psychology

The following universities either have eco- or environmental psychology graduate programs, or they offer relevant concentrations in other environmental and design programs. We are unaware of any graduate programs offering specific training in population psychology, though there are quite a few universities in the U.S. and abroad that offer advanced training in population studies, as well as opportunities to combine population studies and psychology in universities that offer interdisciplinary graduate degrees.
